Holiday advice

[Tuearts right boot]

Guessing that’s north wales:-)

Definately Snowdonia and I believe they are stopping people travelling down to Pembrokeshire. The local attention seeking nutters are out stopping traffic in Bala and reporting them but then that's normal for that place.
Beaches are shut, so are the walks and coastal pathways, the forest are shut all by means of closing all the car parks.

If you pay a balance now, chances are it's going to refund those who have just had their hols cancelled. Cash flow... Probably safe if paid by cc but some will take the hit on losing the deposit.

Just put in my claim for a refund, guess we'll see how it goes

Ryanair have just emailed us a flights refund link. Love holidays website said they would get the cash from the airline before we got the full holiday refund. Also we don’t have to pay our final instalment due next week as we were due to go by the end of April. Really glad to be getting £1k back in the bank (whenever the Hell that actually is) plus saving many hundreds of ££

I wonder how it will work with restrictions being lifted in different areas of a Country? Spain as a whole has obviously been hammered by this and yet I was reading that the Spanish Mediterranean islands seem to have avoided the worst (fewer than a hundred deaths across all the Balearic islands so far as well as minimal and decreasing new cases in the past couple of weeks).

Unless you can guarantee you aren't going to import infections you can't let people into a mostly unaffected area. Covid can be infectious days before any symptoms and in some cases people are completely asymptomatic. Impossible to open up until there is a vaccine or cure.

Word of advise, don't book with Expedia

I’m due a refund from a hotel booked through them they are saying I need to contact the hotel, surely it’s upto them to sort it out?

Same with my flight, they're saying that now I have to make a claim with Iberia...wtf?

 

[WestGorton]

I would rule out booking foreign travel at all now. Can't see anything like that this year.

 

[WestGorton]

They want cash in to keep them solvent and will stall paying it back for as long as possible.

as long as UK foreign office advise not travelling anywhere in the world (as they do now) you will not be insured if you travel even if countries let you in.

That’s illegal, if your holiday is cancelled it’s a full refund, we where going in June I expect £2300 back, obviously don’t know when but I want the cash.

That still doesn’t mean you can’t have a refund if requested, they are trying to con people into thinking you can’t have one, when you clearly can. If they go under that credit means nothing. I’ll be asking for a full refund.

I was due to go on holiday with TUI in mid March and it was cancelled due to the holiday ban announced in parliament on the 17th. TUI called and tried to persuade me to accept credit against another holiday with an incentive of £50 off. I asked if they would honour the price I paid for an identical holiday in the same hotel later in the year and they said if the price had gone up I would have to pay the difference. I asked for a refund which they agreed to. Still waiting a month later and had an email last week saying I’d receive it within 28 days. They’re hanging on to my cash as long as they can it seems.

Including mine
They cancelled the flight over a month ago and asked if I wanted to re book or be reimbursed. I chose to have the money back and so far nothing
